Imams in the Paris suburban region of Seine-Saint-Denis have refuted claims that Islam was being used to fan the flames of rioting that continues to grip the capital, citing continued efforts to calm down the situation.
"Devout Muslims would never do such actions which run in the face of basic Islamic tenets against sabotage," Zuhair Buraik, the imam of Tariq Bin Ziyad mosque, told IslamOnline.net on Saturday, November 5.
Daw Meskine, the imam of the Clichy-Sous-Bois mosque and the secretary general of the French Council of Imams, agreed.
"Security forces have not implicated any pious Muslims in the rioting and violence, behind the clashed with the police," he said.
A hundred people were evacuated overnight from two apartment blocks in one northern Paris suburb after an arson attack set dozens of cars alight in an underground garage.
Two textile warehouses and a car showroom were also torched to the northeast of the city.
In a worrying sign, the rampages that have gripped the poorer immigrant-populated outskirts of Paris spread, for the first time, to other parts of the country, including Lille and Rouen in the north, Rennes in the west, and Toulouse, Pau and Marseille in the south.
On October 27, the electrocution of two teenagers, believed to be traced by the police in the slump Seine-Saint-Denis, sparkled the trouble, the worst since students' riots in 1968.
But since then it has become a challenge to the authority of the government and a protest against the dismal economic prospects, rampant discrimination and heavy-handed policing that the youth in the suburbs suffer.
In total, since the beginning of the rioting, more than 2,000 vehicles have been burnt and more than 420 people arrested.
Pacifiers
Several Imams interviewed by IOL the Paris poverty-ridden areas said they have...

The darkly hilarious thing about this is that the idiot infidels actually take this statement at face value. In Islam, it's a blessed thing to lie to non Muslims.
If he doesn't issue one of their freaking "Fatwas", calling for the death of all those rioters that embarrass Islam and profane Mohammad the pedophile - then he is simply another lying Muslim sonuvabitch.
Semper Fi
Sounds like something Condi Rice would say.
Seemed we'd only counted around 900 here at FR so far.
This is fair. The remaining Communists in Paris should recognize their new countrymen, their close cousins. The moslemhood of the new citizens--the third world just arrived and who brought their third worldism with them--has nothing to do with this. France can continue to refuse to adapt the legal private property registration system to the vast influx of people from the sticks, an approach that has worked so well for all third world countries and former communist countries that 3/4 of their economies are underground, black market, extralegal.
TOTAL B S, IMO
We'll know that the "devout Muslims" are involved when the beheadings begin.
lol
All in good time, Woofer. All in good time...
France should announce tomorrow that there will be no further welfare payments to anybody who lives in France, but they will be happy to provide the same payments to anybody who chooses to emigrate to Algeria.
They're going to be writing the checks anyway. The postage is only a little bit more...
Yeah really!
Lying to the Infidel is a mitzva!
"Devote Muslims don't
do stuff like that, and people
who say that we do
will be kidnapped and
have their heads chopped off. Oh, and
we'll burn down their house!
Islam is about
peace and love like your Condi
once said in a speech!"
Prophetic, gridlock. Islamist fantasy prophetic, that is.
They'll meet their Gotterdamerrung when they think the time is right to expose their black flag. As in all modern Islamist action, it will be betrayed by those who have slithered their way to the top of the muslim heap as they grab at too much booty and let slip the reins of control.
It'll be Tenaru River all over again on a continental scale.
"Devout Muslims would never do such actions which run in the face of basic Islamic tenets against sabotage"
Rioting, by Muslims?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
Nice pic.Welcome to France.
that's a great idea -- welfare to those who emigrate. haha.
Who believes this bull anymore, except for our own governments.....
